Father Tom Burke delivered last evening the fourth of his course of lectures on Irish history in reply to Mr. James Anthony Froude, taking for his subject “Grattan and the Volunteers,” There was a@larger audience than at any of the previous lec- tures, contrary to an expectation in some quarters that the interest in the subject was exhausted, It ig scarcely necessary to add that the reverend lecturer was frequently halled with tremendeus applauge, Father Burke began by a‘tverting to Mr, Froude’s reply to the remarks made in regard to hig ac- curacy as a historian, and saying that nothing was farther from his (Burke's) wishes than to wound the sensibilities of an honorable man and that he hoped nothing he had said had done so, Coming at once to his subject, he continued by alluding to the treatment Ireland had received from Queene Anne, whom one would have sup- posed would have cherished some kindly feeling for thé people who had so freely shed their blood for her father, No sooner had she come to the throne than a cry was made by the Provestants for yet more CRUEL REPRESSIVE MBASURES against the Catholics, It was, therofore, enacted that no Catholic could inherit land; that a child, even an infant, who conformed to the Protestant creed was removed from the control of its Catholic father, while many other equally unjust provisions ‘were passed—among the rest one that no Catholic could live within a walled towm In 1711, and up to the last year of Queen Anne’s reign, still other laws of the same character were pasaed, and the Catholic clergy ana laity were hunted down as if vhey were wild bulls. Mr. Froude excused this tyranny by saying that this legislation was only retaliation for the persecution of the Huguenots in France. He referrea especially to the revocation of the BDICT OF NANTES, But there was this difference between the Irish Oatholics'and the Hugenote—the former were pro- tected in their liberty by a treaty, which they had conquered by their own right arms—the Treaty of Limerick—while the latter enjoyed no such guaran- tee. Another excuse given by Mr, Froude was that the Irish were favorable to the cause of the Pretender. To this he gave an emphatic denial. The Irish people were utterly tired of the shame- leas and ungrateful race of the Stuarts, knowing well that no matter whether England were gov- erned by STUART OR HANOVERIAN, Treland would still receive the same unjust treat- ment at the hands of an English sovereign.

Forte fe oer ns they had mained true to the Catholic d been uni- lormiy thrown in the scale aetna tthe. liberties of Irishmen. He, however (Father Burke), had only been able to find one petition of the date men- tioned, and in that there was not one word about ARBRICAM RVOLUTION: re in the dust; they bad In 1775 the Oatholics wi Rov and could not ‘lect ney @ parish beadie ; and yet Mr. Froude wished us to believe that they aid hot welcome the cry of freedom that came across the Atlantic.
